Cross platform sharing is why I keep it Writing and drawing has no smoothing. Other than erase and undo, very limited edit ability. Could benefit from a select/cut/paste option. I was about to purchase pro pack, but read reviews that they can only be used online. It's a good start, with lots of potential.

Five stars and more! The fastest inking engine on android....that was my first priority bcuz I write very fast...and this is the only one to do it...the ink just flows from the pen tip...is easily readable later..just try writing five 3's in a line, real fast, with this app and then with others! Look at the 'heads' of the 3's! Until this app came along,I thought ink lag was an android/hardware limitation. Needed a simple notebook to jot down everything and anything on the go and this is so so perfect! Thank you Wacom

No undo/redo once you leave a page for any reason Disliked it? No, but was disappointed. Wacom promotes their "WILL" file format for its richness and utility. So I spent $5+ for the Bamboo Paper pro package and I only later discovered that the detailed stylus stroke info I am confident is stored when I leave a page can't be reviewed and revised later. Bummer. I don't consider this a waste of my money, but be assured I will examine any other Wacom product software /most/ carefully before giving them another nickel.

OK but buggy Cannot open .will files from Android on iPad pro. Plus the wacom cloud sync does not work properly. Can't even create an account and sign in. For a company like wacom seams to be ridiculous to have developers messing up so much.

Doesn't sync properly between OS I am an artist and I use both iOS and android. I purchased the Maker paper set for both iOS and android, hoping that I could do work on my android phone then finish up on my iPad or vice vesa. However the Maker sets are not the same and the paper types do not sync properly. Please fix and I will change my review score.

Sync Doesn't Work Syncing between devices is a bit buggy and unintuitive. Also there's a feature that lets you change the ink color by holding down anywhere on the page but this interferes with writing more than it helps. One of the best as far as handwriting recognition though besides those annoying attributes

Seriously bad app. This app is ridiculously limited. See those colors in the first screenshot? Those are the only colors you get. Purchased premium, thinking it would unlock better tools and more colors... Nope! It unlocks a three more tools which are pointless, and lets you pick what color the cover of your virtual notebook will be. Bad app. Basically a sham. Avoid!

requires always online to use your purchased pens and extras don't waste money on this because you need to be connected to use your expensive extras of this app. Wacom won't allow you to use their app offline. Big bummer! I'm thinking of uninstalling.

Problematic at best. Wants you to pay for tools that aren't as good as tools available in totally free apps. Forces you into portrait mode. Contrary to a very good, very through reviews it does sense your hand while using a stylus. This last forces you to hover your whole hand and arm in a very unnatural and uncomfortable way.

Not able to sync to cloud I have bamboo spark CDS600P. I am able to write on the pad and sync the data to the app. But it stays in Mobile only.. I am not able to login to cloud and save them in it. There is no login/logout option. I have WACOM Id, but of no use. Same the inkspace app as well.

What went wrong Trying this out on Galaxy Tab 2 and every time I draw the the screen turns black when I lift the stylus off the screen. As long as I'm touching the screen the image remains. I will be uninstalling this app.

Loving it. This by far thee best app for notes and such. I have already three notebooks started for different things of course. It's very precise with touch, even just using your finger. The stylus works amazing even with some other apps I tried.

Do the Dev's care?? - Windows 10 PC failure. [Update: 9/6, 9/20 Dev, as you see in my original statement I said windows, HOW DO I GET BACK WHAT I PAID FOR? [No response from anyone, do not waste your money on UNSUPPORTED APP!] Had paid for this app in full before I was forced to update to Windows 10 on my laptop. After Windows 10 updated, I no longer have the full tools package I paid for. PLEASE HELP ME TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. I have no idea where to start to get it reinstated properly, and I paid for all. PLEASE HELP TO FIX!! -

Good but desperately needs palm rejection! As stated above, I can't use this app unless there is Palm rejection put in place. Because every time I'm in the middle of writing something, nothing is more annoying than having the page turn unnecessarily due to the arrows below being pressed below the screen by my palm. It's the one thing holding me back from purchasing the Pro packs. Pls fix! Also, I reset my phone and can't figure out where to log in and restore my backup, it just says Learn More & Sign Up. No Log In anywhere. - Stock Galaxy Note5

Just let me draw This app feels better than a lot of the competition, but when I actually try to do anything, the awkward gestures and lack of palm rejection ruin the experience. If I'm drawing a line too slowly I get the color pop-up. If I'm too near the edge, the page flips and I lose my undo history. The weird half-fullscreen mode doesn't help either, as I constantly hit the home button with my palm. The app lacks a landscape mode, but will flip your image randomly if you rotate it, or just bump the tablet wrong.

Wacom could do better There are some very fine qualities to this app when you upgrade to the paid for tools. Still, some of the no brainers are not there. For example, no wrist guard and you can't use the app in landscape mode. I guess the cool pens is one reason I keep coming back but even with that I tend to move on to other apps. Add those two features and this might become my go to.

Pretty awesome Beautiful app that works and syncs between all my device. Just awesome. My suggestions for improving the app would be to get more options for line thickness for all mediums and the addition of a colour wheel for a wider range of colour options. Keep up the great work.

Works great so far. I plan on getting this for a tablet I'm getting. It works great. Customizable page types (line paper horizontal, lined paper vertical, graph paper, etc) I plan on using this for Math courses and Science. Recommended for students.
